- 6 - A name meaning fighter of men, or fighting like men. Andromache, Hector’s wife, is aptly named. After Achilles killed her husband, Neoptolemus killed her son by throwing him from the city walls and then took her back to Greece as a concubine, where she later gave birth to two of his sons. After Neoptolemus’ death, she married Helenus, Hector’s brother, and became Queen of Epirus. A life defined by men, good and bad alike. This is the tragic story of a woman, wife and queen, who stood on the ashes of Troy and found herself having to love what she should wholeheartedly despise. This is the story of Our Children, the children who grew up locked in their rooms. They listen to music with headphones, compose beats on their computers, and spit bars in their notebooks. Their friends are their family, and they live their lives online. This is the story of our generation, who believed we would be better than our parents. And now we see our children growing up, making their mistakes, moving forward. This is a story about a rap band, about dreams that take revenge, about children saved by music.
